Hi everyone,
Does JW Player explicitly support any sort of audio-only mode? I basically *just* want the control bar, no videos, playlist, etc. I know is this possible by setting width/height appropriately (and controlbar.idlehide to falsethis doesnt seem to be supported in JW Embedder mode?), but ISTM this would be useful enough that Id think there would be some config parameter I could set for it.
Thanks!

Hey thanks for the reply.
Ive read the JS API documentation and the configuration parameters documentation; neither seems to offer any direction.
Sorry to ask, but would you mind clarifying which of the links on that page pertains to what Im looking to do? There is a lot of information on there, of course, but nothing that Ive seen seems to pertain; for example, all of the implementation examples on the JW Embedder page have video, and the flashvars list doesnt mention (that I saw?) how to put those into the JW Embedder.
@Felipe – If you want to use the JW Player for just audio, you can set this up, and just use an file.

Does the HTML-5 version of the player support MP3 files? We are displaying a large number of audio files and have a lot of iPad users. Will JW Player solve this problem?
It does indeed!
I've read the all the posts and manuals and wikis I can find on this subject but still can't figure out how to create a jwplayer that has no controls. All I want is audio in the background without any sort of controls or anything visual at all.
The best I could do was to set the the width and height to 1. But that has a annoying effect on the page. I tried 0 hut the player refused to play the audio.
Any help would be appreciated.
All you need to do is set the controlbar flashvar to none.
the example above only works with jwplayer flash. is there an example that works in HTML5 (audio only) so that its compatible with iOS mobile devices?
For example, jplayer provides this in HTML5.
I have on my web site virtually running totally in the html5mode feature of the JWPlayer.
Audio and video work very well.
By virtue that IE8 doesn't support the html5mode, IE8 users will fallback to the flashmode
@auzkhan – This is because the Wizard uses SWFObject to render.
Here are many working HTML5 examples for your reference – http://developer.longtailvideo.com/player/tags/mediaplayer-5.8/js/test/examples/
hello, I want to use jw player for audio only, meaning I want the skin and video display field to be gone, only the controls and the audio. is there any way to do this?
Just make the height small, like the bottom demo on this page – http://developer.longtailvideo.com/player/tags/mediaplayer-6.0/test/basic-aac.html
Is there a way to get an only audio player with just the control bar AND a playlist? I am trying to load my own xspf playlist. It works, but the player is split, half video and half playlist with the control bar in the middle. I want no video, only control bar and playlist
You can do this by setting the listbar to bottom – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28842/working-with-playlists#listbar
And then setting the size accordingly.
You will also need to change the player’s height, to match.
How would I use that with swfobject?
I can host the jwplayer.swf but I dont have anywhere to host .js files so I am using swfobject since that doesnt need the .js file
JW Player 6 only works with our JS Embedder.
We no longer support swfobject.
I am able to play .MP4 files. But for a few files, I get the audio but video is missing. Can you please help me with this?
I guess this has to do something with re-encoding.
Audio needs to be encoded in AAC
